cody Lundin Backcountry Survival - military Signaling - Photo 12

Modern military signaling mirror and Paleolithic sighting method combine to create a realistic means for attracting a search party. While I targeted the proper use of a 4x4 to avoid this need, Cody emphasized how many people actually find themselves in such dire conditions. This conjured up visions of my days as a 4x4 search-and-rescue team member and the late October night that we left our warm beds after midnight to scurry up the Willamette Pass in search of two kids in T-shirts who rode their bicycles into the Waldo Lake Wilderness Area at dusk.
